Need dimensions for Micro T Shocks

I am looking for a small set of shocks for a random project, and am thinking that Micro T shocks look about the right size. Does anyone have one that they can give me a measurement on?

I'm looking for:
1. overall length (eye to eye) - shooting for around 50mm
2. overall diameter - looking to be as close to 10-12mm as possible

Also, any other suggestions for shocks about that size would be great - the diameter is the killer. I could go a bit bigger, but probably not much more that 15mm without major issues.

Thanks!

my micro-t front shocks measure 26mm eye-eye diameter is about 5mm except for the top of the shock where the screw holds the cap on, that portion is 7mm

rear shocks are the same except for length is about 31mm

the shocks from a losi mini latemodel might work. The threaded aluminum shocks measure about 50mm long and 12mm diameter at the spring collar. mine might have a small limiter inside to get them to the 50mm length, I don't recall how I built them.
